After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 220
"She is married. I heard that she is from a merchant family." Mr. Feng sighed at the end, looking a little relieved: "In fact, it would be better if she could have married a few years earlier. I am sorry for her because I have waited for me for so many years. My mother has been taking care of me, and she has helped me to be a filial piety until my death. After my mother passed away, she went to the south with her husband to do business. I heard from the neighbors that her husband was good to her, and she had three or four children. It is a pity that she She is a good citizen, but because of my burden, she ended up marrying a merchant woman, and her children will only be merchants in the future."

Mr. Feng, who had changed his face, never thought about finding a harassing ex-wife. He stayed alone in the capital, bought a small yard, and guarded the huge pile of money he earned from the border to give to his wife and mother. Can sit still.

After being decadent for a few days, Mr. Feng started to go to the restaurant again. He still only cares about the money and does not pick children. Boys only teach Kaimeng, and girls don't care.Capable people can't hide anywhere. There are so many famous gentlemen in Beijing. The rich families usually hire the family tutors, and they don't hire other people. Therefore, Mr. Feng didn't find too many boys' enlightenment jobs. I got a boudoir teacher.

There are not many men who are Mr. Boudoirs, and most of them are very old. Mr. Feng was exposed to the wind and sun at the border, and his hair was graying early. He looked like an old man in his forties, so some people hired him.

But Mr. Feng is much better than the average boudoirs. He is knowledgeable, quick-witted, and has gradually become famous among the boudoirs. A relatively weak second- and third-rate family, but he has accumulated a lot of reputation and fame over the years. The more he gets involved, the better. Later, he was hired by Marquis Wu Ding with a lot of money to teach Shangguan Luan and Shangguan Jing.

"My father raised my eldest sister as a queen." Shangguan Jing frowned: "Could it be that you did this specifically later?"

"Almost." Old man Feng smacked his lips: "There are always people who are proud and arrogant."

"Empress Chen couldn't be taught by you?" He Lingyao also asked curiously.

"That's not true." Old man Feng shook his head: "Old man, I had bad luck in the first few years, and I haven't taught a queen yet! Back then, in addition to the daughters of the Chen family and the daughters of the Su family, there was another one who was actually very promising. , guess who it is?"

"I've heard of it." He Lingjun replied immediately: "The former eldest daughter of Duke Cheng'en, but I heard that this young lady passed away at an early age, and she seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old when she died. Candidates haven’t been decided yet.”

"Ah?" Shangguan Jing was taken aback: "Isn't that the daughter of the Li family? My mother is from the Li family."

"It's your mother's cousin." Old man Feng nodded: "Although the Li family is not as good as the Chen family and the Su family, it can be regarded as a leading family. It was especially prominent and powerful when Cheng Engong was alive. Not bad, so although your grandfather is only Cheng Engong's cousin, your mother married into the Shangguan family, which was only a second-rate family at the time, and it is considered a good match. It's just that the former emperor arranged for the prince to be the emperor, and Cheng Engong was excluded. In the past few years, after the joint suppression of the Chen, Su, and Lin families, the Jingzhong branch has gradually withered and become weaker. The competition between the big families is like this, one always ebbs and flows."

"It's conceivable." Shangguan Jing nodded: "The various families are still competing with each other to squeeze out resources. It is conceivable how isolated and difficult it is for scholars from poor families to be in the court. Even if scholars from poor families hug each other, they cannot These roots are deep and leafy, and there have been nobles who have been officials in the court for generations to contend."

"It's always better to be in a group." Mr. Feng smiled triumphantly at Shangguanjing, shaking his head: "Don't underestimate these officials from poor families. Although most of them can't be high-ranking officials, official position and ability are two different things. We poor people Among the officials who came from a family background, there are also many who are very capable and politically ambitious. It’s just that if you go this way, if you don’t have a good background, and you are too noble and unwilling to attach yourself to a wealthy family, your future will always be limited.”

"Sir, what happened to the book of the Imperial Academy that helped you back then?" Shangguan Jing asked.

"What can I do." Old man Feng sighed: "He has no connections in the court, and he was implicated by me, and he will be demoted from the eighth rank. I think the road ahead will be extremely bumpy. I went to look for him after I returned to Beijing. I want to thank him for his kindness back then, and I also want to apologize to him by the way. At that time, he had been transferred to Yishou County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. He was still an eighth-rank official. He had passed away two years earlier. His son was also awarded a Jinshi a few years ago, and his knowledge was very good, but this child has the same personality as his father, he is upright and refuses to follow others, and his family has no ability to pave the way for him. Like his father, in his 30s, he is still a petty official from the eighth rank."

"Mister is still in contact with this Master Dianbo?" He Lingyao asked with some concern: "Does he know the identity of Mr.?"

"As I said, the humble scholars are all in groups." Old man Feng smiled and understood He Lingyao's implication: "Don't say that he was an honest man. His father knew very well what happened back then, and so did they. They are all victims of the Su family's influence, how could they betray me in order to attach to the Su family?"

"Holding up..." Shangguan Jing nodded suddenly: "No wonder you always know the situation in the DPRK and China very well, and you also have a lot of gossip. Now you often associate with officials from poor families, right?"

"Yes." Mr. Feng nodded: "Although most of the humble scholars are not high-ranking officials, they are still well-informed. However, compared with the noble children, the number of poor families in the court is too small, even if they are in a group, It’s also lonely.”

"Sir," Shangguan Jing suddenly stood up and looked at Mr. Feng with a serious face: "You work hard, no matter how hard I try, I will make you a queen student with a good face. But I can't guarantee that I can successfully avenge you .”

"Of course I know." Old man Feng nodded to Shangguanjing, and replied very gently: "If you have such a heart, I will be satisfied with this old man. What else can I do? The noble family is deeply rooted, even if Jingheng will do it in the future. Even the emperor cannot easily shake its foundation."

"Sir, Jing Heng is not here right now, and we haven't told him about it, so we don't know what he thinks." Shangguan smiled quietly: "But don't worry, I will work hard for it. I will do what I say."

"Jing'er," He Lingjun said helplessly, "Although this matter is very important, don't be too hot-headed for a while. Even if Jing Heng ascends the throne in the future, you are the empress, and the affairs of the outer dynasty are also related to you, the master of the sixth house." It's irrelevant. Interfering in politics in the harem is a taboo."

　---Here is the dividing line for poor scholars--
　　It's useless for the humble scholars to hold together again, they can't compete with the wealthy aristocratic families.The first is unorganized, and the second is that the overall status is not good. Most of the official positions are low, and there is no leader.
